Just to clarify the above.

Being in a domain shouldn't affect sshd and httpd, provided the relevant
domain users (i.e., those that need to log in) are in the /etc/passwd
file.

Installing Cygwin "Just for Me" will result in the SYSTEM user (that
services, especially sshd, should run as) not seeing the mounts, and thus
not being able to access the relevant files.  For the same reason, the
value of CYGWIN is better set as a system environment variable, rather
than a user one.

To fix this without reinstalling Cygwin, try remounting "/", "/usr/bin"
and "/usr/lib" as system (with the "-s" flag).
